Intimacy

(This is one version of the poem)

Human desire

Requires the fulfillment of being wanted, needed

While neediness is shunned to some degree

 Even considered a weakness

It is a strength

The satisfaction

that an individual matters

Gives purpose to one’s existence

 

This is the second version of the poem

Poem title: Intimacy (A woman's needs)

Human desire

Requires

the fulfillment of being wanted, needed!

While neediness is shunned to some degree

Even considered a weakness

It is a strength!

It's the satisfaction

that I matter

Gives purpose to my feminine existence

Title: What money CAN buy

Time has a intricate way of repairing things 

If you live long enough, you will discover  enormous joy in little things

An embrace, eye contact, a touch, and a smile will never have a price tag

Their value supersedes any dollar amount, yet they can be purchase...

Paradox 

These items are purchased with kindness,  honesty,  and transparency 

Kindness is the spiritual currency for tangible things

6 degrees of separation

Title: Six degrees of separation 

Written by: Luchetta Manus (Cookee) 2020

Separated by only a few people apart 

Two kindred spirits

Each with big hearts

Never knowing the other one existed

Momentarily crossing paths

Their preexisting conditions

And situations

obstructing their vision

throwing each off focus

Not giving notice

to their meeting 

A scheduled divine appointment.
